The Trainers ... Kovalev v Ward

Post by Evander »

Who do you think has the best trainer between Sergey Kovalev and Andre Ward ?
Virgil Hunter for Andre Ward or John David Jackson for Sergey Kovalev ?

Jackson is the better trainer imo. Ward flatters Hunter. Whom outside of Ward has Hunter developed?

Hunter seems like the smarter of the 2 imo, but not by much and Ward is his golden child. I'm sure he's been obsessing over an extravagant gameplan for the fight. Jackson in line with kovalev seems to focus more on perfecting the basics. So will raw basic skill trump some extravagant hunter plan. Everyone has a plan until their hit in the balls.

Wasn't there a moment during one of the recent Ward fights when Andre frowned upon Hunters advice at the ending of a round ?
It seemed to say I know better than you, that's the way I interpreted it ... now it's a matter which fight.

I haven't seen brand ward still and don't want to, maybe it was in that. Hunter has a motormouth though. Imagine having that c$&t in your ear 24/7 giving advice. Haha.

Leaning toward Jackson strategy over Hunter experience however slightly.
